The SLO Life | Serenity Swing Hike

So this post is super super late. 

About a month-ish ago (maybe even longer than that), we took a little hike up to Serenity Swing, right behind where we live. Turns out it's right behind Architecture Graveyard--the first hike I went on in SLO. Except this one was more uphill and more slippery and more windy and a lot harder. LOL but that's probably just because I need to work on my hiking skills. And get less slippery shoes.

But the view up there was amazing, and we timed it so that we caught the sunset. It was BEAUTIFUL. We also sat on the swing and swung around. The only bad part was how windy it was because I kept feeling like I would get blown off the mountain. But we all survived :)

SLO Times | Please Don't Fall Off Bishop Peak

After all this time in SLO, I finally hiked Bishop Peak on Friday with Megan, Elise, Hayley, and Polina. It was a little bumpy at first, during the initial incline (like it seriously felt like a straight vertical), and then there were rocks towards the top. The rocks weren't so bad, except at the very very top of the peak. My little legs were too short to get all the way up to sit on the rock, so I had help getting pulled up, and then being lowered down when we were leaving. 

Also, Polina slipped and almost fell down the mountain when we were coming down from the top (and we were still basically at the very top). It was right in front of these two ladies who were already iffy about climbing up all the way, and when they saw her slip, they were like "Oh no, no way, turning back now!" Haha. So even though it wasn't funny that she fell, it was still a little funny. But that definitely did not help with my fear of falling off a mountain while hiking. So I definitely will be staying away from the edges from now on.
